Ninja Gaiden II Easter Egg Features Xbox 360

Ninja Gaiden II was released today and already an easter egg has been revealed in the game. As you see in the picture above, a big 'X' can be found in one of the levels in the game. What is it? What does it do? Where can I find such an awesome easter egg? All of these questions can be answered after the break. Those of you who are worried about spoilers can rest assure I won't ruin anything for you with my explaination.

The big X, was one of the xbox designs for the first xbox also featured in ninja gaiden 1

[thereapersson]

It's also the logo for Direct X as well

[Montrealien]

I think we are on to something....

the Xbox was...the Direct X box! omg!!

/endsarcasm

That was the idea of the Xbox when they decided to get into the gaming market. A gaming console that worked with the same tools as the PC "Direct X" to make it easier for developers.

thats cool

[Veryangryxbot]

red lights?

You know, like the xbox console used as a frying pan in Half life 2?

OWNED

[ps360fella]

no not owened because its really not funny

[juuken]

Lol, that was funny but let the XBox owners enjoy the game. I might play this game eventually once the price of the 360 goes down and it's a bit more reliable. I guess it's not that bad because I do like some of the features in the game.

COUGH ... COUGH

juuken do you self a favor and buy NG Sigma

if you really want ng2 then go a head and good luck

oohh and don't forget a normal tv will do just fine

[juuken]

Omar, I have Sigma. Beat it all the way to Master Ninja. I need a new NG dammit.

[Zhuk]

This game is years ahead of God of War, Itagaki is a genius

[qwert]

Yeah the game rocks.I've already finish the game! Nice piece of crap!....I think the x is from XIT!

[ukilnme]

@ qwert

You created another account just to post a garbarge comment to another garbage comment? Pathetic.

[juuken]

I wouldn't put this on par with God of War if I were you. They have different plots/agendas. And the storyline in God of War is more believable.

[Thoas]

I've seen you say some really of the wall stuff before, but this time you have said the stupidest thing yet.

Proof
God of War 2 got a 9.7

Ninja Gaiden 2 got a 8.7

[kewlkat007]

or it could be noting Itagaki and X-Employee...hehe

[ThaGeNeCySt]

WHEN YOU GOT DA GLOW!!

X-EMPLOYEE is funny, but it just looks like the top of my OG XBOX

[NinjaRyu]

that is more of a open zone comment, Sorry about that everyone.Still their is some truth to what I said in my last comment.

Anyways on topic, this is a Normal easter egg from the look of it. I don't think it means anything seeing that they also have this easter egg in the last NG.

[SL1M DADDY]

Then stop inviting them.

As for the picture, it looks like one of the prototype Xbox's back in the day. Interesting. I wonder if this is a sign that he was already in talks with MS to get a job there knowing he was going to be kicked off the Team Ninja group?

[jtucker78]

"If you’d like to get an idea of what it looks like in-game and exactly what it does, please refer the the video"

Interesting... BUT

Couldn't the poster have just told us that the 'X' does nothing?
Instead of recording a video to show us nothing happening.
Surely a screenshot would suffice?

"We've found a specimen of rock never before discovered. Watch this 5 minute piece of footage of the rock to see what it looks like and what it does!"

[Tempist]

So this is just how he praises MS?

[SteveUrkel]

? this was in the last ninja gaiden too. it refills your health and ninpo, big whoop! i hope there are better easter eggs then this. an itagaki faced pinata would be fun

[Mc Fadge]

You sword would cut right through it, where's the fun? We need some kind of indestructible bag the gets cut but never dies >: D

[NiteWarrior]

Is that in the ps3 version of the game

[caffman]

or you are being really dumb

[xTHRASHx]

that is the lamest easter egg i have ever seen. i half expected rick astley to pop out of it! lol
